Israel has said they will respond. Hopefully the US gives them a short leash because I certainly agree that a widening conflict would be bad for everyone, Ukraine included.

That said, the hundreds of shaheds used in this attack are less that could go to Russia. And Iran will probably want to keep plenty in reserve for their own needs. And maybe this is more impetus for Johnson to bring the Ukraine/Israel aid bill to the floor, though who knows.

Totally agree. I would hope Israel would give themselves a very short leash and do nothing. They don't have to prove they are "tough". Nobody questions that. Not so for Iran, but they have done what they could. Let us hope both sides will now prove the are not stupid and stand down. As far as Johnson bringing the bill to a vote goes, it would for sure pass. The question is whether he has the moral courage to do it and whether he believes enough Democrats will vote for him as speaker to avoid chaos.
